Flowers that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their coloring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children -- honored as the jewelry of God only by them -- when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.
~
Thomas De Quincey - [Flowers]

He does not care for flowers. Calls them rubbish, and cannot tell one from another, and thinks it is superior to feel like that.
~
Mark Twain - [Flowers]

It is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel.

James Allen - [Focus]
